Malek complained to the studio on behalf of the cast, saying Singer was unprofessional, unreliable and often absent, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Last month, Bohemian Rhapsody was removed as a nominee for best original film at the GLAAD Media Awards ceremony, which celebrates the LGBT community, following the sexual abuse allegations against Singer.

He has previously directed films such as X-Men, Superman Returns and The Usual Suspects, for which he received a BAFTA nomination in 1996.

The 2019 BAFTA Film Awards will take place at London's Royal Albert Hall on Sunday.
